Ingredients
-
3 cups rolled oats
-
1/2 cup wheat bran or 1/2 cup oat bran
-
1/2 cup wheat germ
-
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
-
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
-
1/2 cup sunflower seeds (use all raw nuts, seeds and wheat germ)
-
1 cup raisins (I use a mix of thompsons' and golden)
-
1/2 cup pitted dates, chopped
-
1 -1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
-
1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 225°F.
- Mix first six ingredients together and spread evenly on a couple of cookie sheets.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then remove and stir. Bake another 15 minutes. While it bakes, assemble the other ingredients. (coat the 1/4 cup measure with oil before using it for maple syrup).
- Immediately transfer oat mixture to a large bowl and stir in the dried fruit and cinnamon. Slowly, pour in the maple syrup and stir to mix well.
- Let it cool and store in an airtight container where, my guess is, it'll keep up to a month. Like it'll last that long :-).
